The shadow treasurer, David Janetzki, announced on Sunday that the party would make general practitioners a special category under the payroll tax act.The opposition said they would pay for the policy by not building the planned gigantic Pioneer Burdekin pumped hydro scheme in central“He’s mixing capital expenditure up with operating expenditure. That’s just the truth. That doesn’t work in government,” Dick said.
The Queensland Labor government was the first in the country to impose an amnesty, which expires in July next year. Clinics were supposed to use the delay to switch to an alternative financial structure, in order to avoid paying the tax.Boulton, whose two-year term ended in May, said the Labor approach would impose administrative burden on clinics worth up to $50,000 a year. Paying the tax might cost a patient up to $30 a visit, she said.
“It’s immoral for people to have to pay a patient tax on their healthcare. We know that public hospitals and most private hospitals are exempt for a good reason, and that’s because healthcare needs to be universal and it needs to be accessible,” Boulton said. Under the government’s policy, clinics could avoid paying the tax by requiring patients to pay general practitioner directly. The doctor would then pay a fee for using the clinic’s facilities – essentially as an independent contractor.The NSW government included a tax rebate in this year’s budget and waived historic tax liability. South Australia and Victoria offer exemptions for clinics offering bulk-billed services.
